Management Is Everywhere -Shirley's 243rd Friendly Greeting -March 7,2010

Hi,Dear Friends

This is the second week after the Chinese New Year’s Holiday. I have been working on my 5th work paper in 2010.

Maybe you would ask why I wrote my papers so fast? Because, most of the topics were something that I had thought before I went to the US or say that I went to the US with these topics together. What the professors talked in the classroom or the social activities that I attended often gave me some inspirations, new ideas and some solution, to answer this or that questions and to resolve this or that problems that I had met or thought.

Do you know what the biggest gain is this week I have gotten?

I suddenly realized that management is everywhere. 

It was for a long time, I wished to retire tomorrow, to work on what I truly love ? art of painting, music and language only.

This Monday, when I was painting, I suddenly had a new idea that painting and music are also management. When I paint, I am managing my ideas, structure, colors etc.; when I sing, I am managing my breath and voice. Both of the business management and the art creating are not contradictory, but same or similar on many hands.

Therefore, I should not counterpose the art of management and the art of painting, music and language. I should learn among of them. Then maybe I can work better on business management and art creating.

With a big smile base on the new idea, I have made some innovations on my little web site -- Change Shirley's World to be an Inter-Arts and Cross-Culture Learning World...

The new web site will continue to focus on the art of painting, music, language; cross-culture exchange and make friendship, but will reduce my own personal colors.

I would really like to go out of Shirley's little World and to enter a bigger World.

How do you think of the change on the little web site?

I am looking forward to hear from you and to listen to your views about the new innovations. :-)

Do you have any thing special this week?
